Well y'all . . . it's been another great year of our annual Holiday Decorating Contest. All combined, we had over 200 entries from all over the country - and a few from around the world. It has honestly been one of the best parts of my day - seeing everyones creativity - and sensing the great joy that you all take in celebrating the holiday season with great style.

Wow! Thanks! Such a gorgeous array of Christmas decorating- all of the pictures were amazing. Scot, we had so much fun- it was awesome to see so much talent in one place. Thanks to you and the distinguished panel of judges. Warmest wishes for a merry Christmas to everyone.

Scot, I look forward to this event on your blog and hope it becomes an annual event for years to come! The winners were all favorites, but I still say it must have been a very difficult decision! So many beautiful entries!! I am so pleasantly surprised to be a runner up!!!

Best wishes to all for a very joyous Christmas and Prosperous New Year!

Congrats to all the deserving winners (and everyone else who participated as there were so many fabulous ones)! This contest really drew out the big guns!Loved seeing them all.....and some of my faves won, so I am excited about that!!Great job everyone!

Cheers to the winners, and thank you to everyone who shared their pictures--I am so inspired! Scot, your blog is wonderful and your "home video" was absolutely lovely. I felt enveloped in a tartan embrace...Merry merry to all~Lauren

This is such a fun tradition that you have developed, Scot! Thank you, the people who sent you photos of their wonderful decorations, and the savvy judges who awarded the prizes for making this possible. A holiday treat for your lucky readers, indeed!

Truly well deserved winners!..Thank you for presenting this contest. I truly enjoyed seeing all the spectacular and creative designs and also loved participating. So looking forward to next year and the upcoming year's blogs!

I thoroughly enjoyed these. I am a big fan of Urban Cottage Steve's other, more rustic tree, and he definitely deserves those ornaments from Gumps! I look forward to spending time on your blog and those of the winners who are new to me.

Wow! Really standing behind the judges' choices this year - fabulous! Congrats to Steve at Urban Cottage!!! Just watched Fanny and Alexander and thought of your tree, Steve. Mr. Wood - where did you get that beautiful tartan wrapping paper? I feel so tartan deprived, please let me in on your secrets.
